Global reports a £120m loss despite higher UK radio and outdoor revenues, extending a run of losses even as audio advertising continues to grow

Milano..

At Edgar Street. Last time I was here Gareth Evans skied the ball into the stands and I caught it. Someone shouted sign him up and I was thrilled. Dad was with me, Mum visited Hereford Cathedral. We lost 2-0 but survived that season #wrexham

For a station supposedly 6-7 months in the making, it seems to be more of a 'soft launch'. No news bulletins, either - the NUJ are fiercely opposed to the whole thing (and that's before they go on strike tomorrow)

Ken's production team writing new tiebreak questions after they all got used up today #popmaster

I'm just hoping S4C don't come up with Pobol Rownd a Rownd Y Cwm.

Lets head back to the start of 1988 with the HTV Wales news with Arfon Haines Davies. Council bribes and snowdon mountain railway is bad with public friendliness

Amazing. Nancy at Parkhead somehow lasted 4-5 hours more than Amorim at Old Trafford. And he’ll probably still insist he’s ‘improving’.

Wrexham AFC can confirm Wigan Athletic have chosen to activate the break clause in Paul Mullin’s loan contract, and the striker will return from his spell with the Latics this month 👇 🔴⚪ #WxmAFC

My head hurts.

So who is ready for the final season of #RadioGreats?😁📻 First episode drops in January 15th! Who are you hoping to hear in this one? Meanwhile listen back to previous editions here buzzsprout.com/1770277

@thetvroom.com Heard a pre-rec’d generic link from David Dickinson in the 2pm junction. Know of any cuts to the announcing team, per chance?

Me, first thing this morning.

Virgin Radio UK confirms a refreshed schedule with Geoff Lloyd returning and Huey Morgan launching a new live weekend morning show

Good business in Tywyn 😅

Upcoming Dirty Feed articles: - The Mary Tyler Moore Show (which was never a real success in the UK) - MTM’s variety specials (which were never broadcast in the UK) - Wally Who? (a Radio 2 sitcom which nobody remembers in the UK, or indeed anywhere) What a great way to build an audience.

4) Bullseye winners...?

Some thoughts from the walk into Radio Cambridgeshire this morning... 1) Shouldn't they be switched off...?

A Darts world final that starts at 8.15pm has no business finishing at 9.35pm. #PDCWorldChampionship #Darts

PORTAKABINS IN SPAAAAAAAAACE

Time for home. Till the next time, the Diff.

OTD in 1948 Sports Report airs for the first time on the BBC Light Programme. My 2013 potted history of the long-running programme bit.ly/3rREpjQ or for the definitive story seek out Pat Murphy's book

Weekend catch-up: The last acting job Tony Slattery ever had has been released http://dlvr.it/TQ7Zkg

Twice as many goals in the Premier League today than on New Year’s Eve. And there’s only been one game so far.

There’s a singer in this bar who is literally speaking every line regardless whether it is sung or spoken. I’m not sure they can sing…

Not an introduction more a cry for help #totp

Loving this on Monday’s schedule

Some things never change - like Virgin lurching from one identity crisis to the next. See also what happened with Sam and Amy (poached from Bauer after beating Evans to top radio awards…then replaced by Evans)

A neat little behind-the-scenes write-up on the making of Global’s deservedly acclaimed WSQK pop-up, which signed off last night. www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

Look forward to seeing both goals on MOTD(2) tonight. Probably have Liverpool on first, as well…

A literal early dart for Sky Sports Darts tonight. Scheduled til 11pm and the matches have barely made 9.30. Can’t remember the last time that coverage ended so early.

Littler-Van Veen final, surely?

Cool Hand Luke in real danger of crashing out at Ally Pally here.

Adding some fireworks to our closing titles to celebrate 2026. Happy New Year.

Trekking to the Clip Corner at the Wales Millennium Centre to watch Barry Welsh is Coming was a really good idea.

So, a comfortable 2-0 win for Wrexham over the Galaxy Alpha Centauri.

What on Earth is that Blackburn home shirt? #KeanOut (sorry, wrong hashtag)

But the important thing is, not to overreact.

Nothing says a quiet NYD drink in a Cardiff pub than being able to watch Wrexham on one screen and Colwyn Bay v Flint on another. Oh, and the darts on yet another.

Brand new on Dirty Feed: I absolutely guarantee that you have not read this fact about The Peter Serafinowicz Show and The Butterfield Detective Agency sketch ANYWHERE else. www.dirtyfeed.org/2026/01/ever...

Props to ITV1 for showing the proper dub of Shrek 2. Who the hell thought it would be a good idea to replace Joan Rivers with GHR's Kate Thornton (for UK audiences?)

Happy New Year!!

@dirtyfeed.org Happy New Year, John. All the best for 2026!

Better get the rev on for his bit. I give you the maestro, Rikki Fulton. youtu.be/vI4amXuQclU?...

Bob Monkhouse hamming it up alongside a more restrained Rikki Fulton on Saturday Show, 1953.

And on with the tax returns!
